there is no right to walk around freely after exposure to a contagious, deal disease. I would welcome any cite you have to the contrary.

Thus far, all evidence shows that persons with ebola are only contagious after they develop a fever. Thus, no fever, no threat. No threat, no probable cause.

Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Ebola frightens me. I'm on the "front line", as it were, more so than almost any of you. if it gets loose in this country, people I work with every day are going to die. But irrational, unproven fear cannot trump one's constitutional rights. If ebola is shown to be contagious when the patient is asymptomatic, then things would be different. That is not the case.
